Physical &amp;quot;discipline&amp;quot; of children in the US is most popular in the Southern states, and these states have the highest rates of teenage pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, etc.  Furthermore, dozens of countries have made it illegal for parents to smack their children, and they haven't erupted into &amp;quot;anarchy&amp;quot; as a result (Sweden, Norway, Germany, Finland, Israel, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, etc.).</html>
